Flame Lick

One of my PCs got trapped in a VR world playing “Everquest 40k”.  He was trapped there long enough that his “ranger” got to level 4 killing rats and spiders outside of Freeport.  When he was eventually broken free of the VR trap he took with him the memory of how to cast an iconic […]

Gunlock (D&D 5e)

By player request, inspired by the Gungeon final boss – The Lich.  GUNLOCK  Gunesis 1:1 In the beginning, the Gungeon was formless and void, and bullets moved over the face of the deep.

Maleficence (Magical Calamity Table)

Stolen for my 5e game from a few sources, main one being sorcery is a sword without a hilt.  These are the triple roll disasters for sorcerers.  Maleficence Your spell effect targets adjacent target instead (harms next nearest person, alters wrong thing, creates related but not identical item). Teleport 1d6x10′ in a random direction. A random […]

Hedge Wizard/Wise Woman

I quite liked the idea of component based magic from sorcery is a sword without a hilt. Here is a 5e version specifically built as a self-taught wizard type. This only works if you use slot based encumbrance – which I do.  Rise Up Comus is worth a read and I don’t do it justice […]
